8 Suggestions For A Fruitful Marriage

By Jeannie Cook


Here are 8 pointers that may help you save your marriage. Not so many years back divorce was just unknown, today it is so common place that it has given birth to divorce counsels and prenuptial agreements. Some of the current day pressures on average marriage include work, kids and finances. It is usual for these symptoms to creep up and before you know it you are in the middle of a divorce.

Here I would like to focus on some suggestions or pointers to help keep your marriage off the rocks and end your divorce before it gets started.

1 - Try to not let small irrelevant things get in the way. Actions like leaving the top off the toothpaste or not taking out the trash can cause a arguments but when put into place they shouldn't actually be marriage threatening. These things can be worked around and the key to this is acceptance and toleration combined with communication and a little personal effort. (see step 8)

2 - Try and make any important decisions in your lives together as a couple. It can be very disempowering if any serious decision is made unconditionally by one of the couple. Choices on things like buying a new automobile, schooling for the children, career/job changes or home decoration are the kind of actions that are probably going to cause damages to the trust and respect in your marriage. All these type of choices should be discussed so that neither of the partners begins to feel duped or dominated in any manner.

3 - Keep on top of your marriage. Take time out together occasionally and get away for 1 or 2 days. Some quality time together away from the each day distractions can re-kindle the love in a relationship. It will give you both time to put things into proportion again. You could even wish to try a professionally organized couple's retreat.

4 - Start to date each other again. Going on dates can be actually a big help to any couple. Scheduling time on a constant basis to go out on a date and spend some time in each others company will surely help to maintain the excitement in your relationship.

5 - In each marriage there will be certain topics that you're going to never agree on. Don't be scared to agree to disagree and go on. Accept the fact that there'll be certain time where this is a necessary step.

6 - Try hard not to be scared to step down and admit you are wrong. In every contention there is will always be 'right answer ' or the highest truth. At times you'll need to let your ego set aside a little so as to understand that your other half is actually right. If both partners are willing to do this then many blocked circumstances can be worked through.

7 - Sometimes the spark in a committed relationship is lost. A little passion can do amazing things towards getting the spark back once more. Remain passionate about your other half and watch the spark get rekindled.

8 - Don't try and change your partner. Your better half is who they may be and if you're consistently making an attempt to change who they are they'll begin to feel that they are unliked as they are. Accept your partner and have them accept you.
